Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashton Vale

If you manage property in Ashton Vale, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashton Vale as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic

When to call us in Ashton Vale

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Ashton Vale questions

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
